As human beings we were born for more than struggle and strife, for more than merely surviving. Human birth is a gift, an opportunity to experience beauty and meaning.

We were born to thrive. The ancient yogis knew this and through countless generations have curated and passed down a systematic approach to lifestyle, practice, and contemplation which generously, and genuinely affords us the opportunity to claim this birthright. One of these systems is the practice discussed at length in the Yoga Sutra, Vishoka Meditation®.

This course is your chance to begin your relationship with Vishoka Meditation® in a formal way. Taught in alignment with the Himalayan Institute, the Vishoka Meditation® Course with Natalie Backman will help you to create a strong and fertile foundation for a system of practice which has the power to infuse your life with beauty and meaning.

As one of the first certified teachers of Vishoka Meditation®, Natalie has been offering the Vishoka Meditation® Course since 2021. Over the years she has introduced dozens of practitioners to Vishoka Meditation®, many of whom have adopted it as their daily meditation practice and several of whom have gone on to become Certified Vishoka Meditation® Teachers themselves. 

The course consists of lecture content with Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, granting insight into the body of wisdom from which Vishoka Meditation® took form. It also includes a breakdown of each of the various techniques utilized in Vishoka Meditation® Stage One as well as ancillary and preparatory practices. In addition to these tutorials, the structure of the course allows for ample time to experience each technique in practice, to reflect on its efficacy, and to converse about its 'real life' application in a supportive community.

The Vishoka Meditation® Course is highly recommended to anyone with a minimal foundation in meditation (like Natalie's Meditation for Beginners Course), as well as any yoga teacher or practitioner with a desire to practice traditional meditation as outlined by the Yoga Sutra - meditation which truly has the capacity to deliver the promises made by the yoga tradition - absolute freedom and lasting fulfillment. In other words, a life of beauty and meaning.
